What is the Best Pour-Over Coffee Powder-to-Water Ratio? How Much Water is Needed for 20g of Coffee Grounds?

Often, when we brew coffee, we rely on the Gold Cup Theory, which, under specific conditions, helps us understand the relationship between powder-to-water ratio, concentration, and extraction rate. This allows us to determine the optimal powder-to-water ratio for brewing coffee. Powder-to-Water Ratio What is the appropriate pour-over powder-to-water ratio? 1:15 is likely the most commonly heard answer. The 1:15 powder-to-water ratio seems to exist as an undeniable truth. FrontStreet Coffee often uses this ratio in many pour-over brewing methods.
